RE: What I’m Doing About Hashimoto’s (Hypothyroidism)
My mum has simillar issues, but she's in her 60s now and I think too much damage has been done for a complete recovery. Unfortunately she so wants to believe that she can completely undo all the damage that she's desperately jumping from one diet to another when things aren't happening quick enough and she's now just skin and bone. Her mental health is rapidly going downhill too. We're all worried, but if we try and say anything she just bites our heads off.
Sorry, going off at a tangent there! It's good to hear this is working for you. Both my mum and sister have thyroid issues, so I am starting to be more mindful of what I'm eating, although I don't think I have the same issues.
I growing number of people that I know are having issues with autoimmune conditions especially ones around their thyroids. I'm really into trying to take care of it naturally but if my thyroid results had come back in worse shape I surely would have started taking the hormones. Sticking to one diet is difficult. I too have tried a lot. But this one seems to be just right kinda like goldielocks and the three bears. But you have to be really diligent and strict on yourself to do it right. My aunt had to have her thyroid removed and has to have the synthetic hormones forever. I'm really trying to avoid that. But also even with a diet like this you have to eat enough calories. If your mom isn't eating enough calories it won't help her body to heal or to have enough energy to function. 60 should be young enough to heal and do things right in my eyes. My mom is trying this diet now for her rheumatoid arthritis and she's 60. But of course I'm no doctor. Just a fellow human trying to heal naturally. Good luck to you. Make sure you get your thyroid levels checked from time to time if if runs in the family. Better to catch it early!
